  2. Benjamin
    Thank you @Simon D I enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the drive hitting off all the key dunes in Tawi Nizwa. I think drives like these are always important not only for the support team but for all attendees, it allows us to practice and sharpen skills that are often left untouched, nevertheless this drive had everything from paced dunes to problem solving recoveries, I hope for everyone involved learned something new about different terrain landscapes and how we can repair pop-outs alongside torn tires. @Imteeaz Great seeing you again mate, thanks for the amazing support. @Mahesh_ @Andrew John Melvill @RiadJL it was great catching up with everyone I hope to see you on the next one. Enjoy the rest of your week.
  3. Imteeaz
    Thanks @Simon D for this amazing drive; after 4 months of being away from the sand, it was great to catch up with the team. Overall the drive was fun, exciting, and tiring at the same time; the pop-out and tyre swap are part of what we have signed-up for. @Benjamin thanks for your support @Mahesh_ @Andrew John Melvill @RiadJL thank you for turning up on time for this drive and it was a pleasure to meet with you. Until next time - drive safe

    My training ground was Big Red. It’s the best place to get the highest ROI on mastering both options. Just Food for thought next time you’re in that area.
  5. Emanuel
    Thanks @Mike M.. Option 1 is under perfection at the moment and I'm getting close to being at one with the twilight zone. The tip for Option 2 is something I'm going to try this weekend.
  6. Mike M.
    There are 2 options from experience in this case for the 3.8L as the loss of power is due to having passed the 5500 rpm. Option 1: Triptronic at first gear: Try not to let the engine pass the 5500 rpm which is tricky and with time you will be able to spot that twilight zone from the sound of the engine as you wont have time to look at the rpm because in parallel you need to do little lefts and rights to keep the traction going. Option 2: Get a LOT of momentum to get you in second gear and climb as high as you can (i know easier said than done) and then shift back to first to give you that needed push at the top. The challenge in this option is to find the sweet spot to know when to downshift to keep the optimal rev level. My advice is to ease off the gas just a bit when downshifting as the substantial added torque at the downshift lets you dig rather than propel you forward and then floor it. You have to find that place where just enough throttle is needed to keep the momentum going and then floor it again. I could be sharing things that you probably already know, if not, hope this helps others as well.

    Thank you for your kind words @Emanuel
  16. Simon D
    Dear @Mahesh_, @Andrew John Melvill, @Imteeaz, @RiadJL, @Benjamin. It have been nice to see you all again after some time everyone drove really good , the weather was acceptable but a bit windy . The first half consisted of the warmup and practicing and wakening up our maneuver instincts by going through some awkward and angles before hitting the sharp edges and the tall dunes. we slowly increased the pace over those wonderful dunes, till we stopped for the break. unfortunately, the 2nd have was not as fun as the 1st half of the drive as i got my front tire slashed by a rock and we had to practice changing the spare tire process 😂. after we fixed @Mahesh_ pop out i decided to exit at 2nd of December. Thanks @Benjamin and @Imteeaz for the support and @Mahesh_ for the Sweep looking forward to see you again

    Dear @Siddharth Sai G I had tagged your name on Saturday noon and requested information to introduce yourself. (see below). You were added to the going list that same time. There is no email notification, but we "tag" your name here on the site. So please when you signup keep an eye on your notifications on the site and the drive topic itself. The RSVP closes around 24hs prior to the drive itself.

    Another fantastic drive @Frederic. It is always a pleasure to be your S/L. Along with a terrific line-up of support from @Imran Asghar, @Zed, @Dodi Syahdar, and @Srikumar. It was a pleasure to meet you Sri, after so much time with the club. Looking forward to driving on one of your drives soon. I had our newest club member behind me, @Abhishek Chikara. Well done on your first official drive with us. You drove well and controlled your descent nicely on the way down some of those steep drops. You also had watched well your prep videos because you got yourself inflated without issue. Positive (Red) first then Negative (Black) next. Reverse for disconnecting. @Carl Stanley got a tip on disconnecting ABS and traction control for his Pajero by pulling out the relay. This will give some additional control over your car next time. Frederic wrote about this here: Have a great week ahead and see you next weekend.
  21. Siddharth Sai G
    Hey @Frederic, I did register for the drive and even at midnight I was shown as on waiting list. Also was expecting an email of confirmation which I didn’t receive. Morning I came to know I was accepted. Would like to join you guys in the next one.
  22. Emanuel
    You did well on your first official drive with Carnity.
